Highland Park capped the regular season by clinching the District 7-6A title and a top seed in the girls basketball playoffs.

The Lady Scots rolled to a 59-36 win over Lake Highlands on Tuesday, completing a season sweep of the Wildcats and breaking a first-place tie atop the league standings.

HP will take a 12-game winning streak into a bi-district playoff matchup against Haltom on Monday at the Arlington ISD Athletics Center.

Audrey Walker tallied a game-high 16 points and Tyler Corwin added 13 for the Lady Scots, who led 34-14 at halftime and never looked back. Kate Danner added 11 points.

They earned the league’s No. 1 seed in the Class 6A Region I playoffs. Haltom (10-22) is the fourth seed from District 8-6A.
